"Ah, good morning." said a we'll known Kentucky gentleman, address ing a man whom he met in the street "How are you, colonel?"
 "Look here," the first speaker, after short pause, continued, 'ever":-day discover additional evidences of the fact that you do not like me. Why IS it?,'
 "Do you mean why you discover the evidences or why I do not like you?"
 "Why you do not like me, of course"
 "Well, in the first place, you are such an outrageous liar"
 "Yes."
 And, in the second place, it has been proved that you are thief"
 "Wel," said the colonel, ''I merely wanted to know, and it strikes me that your reasons are very good. I am sensitive man, and it nettles me to think that anyone dislikes me with out a cause. am glad that you have explained yourself so clearly"

KINDLY WARNING.


 "A mans most disastrous business mistakes are often his misconceptions of character" said a young fellow dur ing conversation upon success in life. "While out In Kansas some time ago I worked for a large wholesale mer- chant. He seemed to be kind hearted man, but could sec that something came up out ot his past life and stared him reproachfully in the tace. was determined to discover this secret, and after much detective maneuvering found out that years ago he had forged note in the east. One day, while much in need of money, said to myself; 'Balkins, this is your time to forge your em- ployer's name and draw out large sum of money. When your crime Is discovered, throw yourself upon the merchants mercy-plead youth and lack of experience and hint that he might, in his younger days, have been similarly tempted. Then he will for give yon and tell you not to do so again. In the meantime take care 10 secrete the money and afterwards pre- tend that you lost 1t at gambling. We'll" the young fellow continued, "I forged note for five thousand dollars. i Tine forgery was soon discovered. The merchant sent for me.
 Balkins,' said he, when l had en- tered his private otlica, I took you to be an honest man
 4I tried to shed tears, but failing hung my head in deep reproach.
 "I have been kind to you, Balkins, and this is the way you repay my kindness
 "'l am very young, sir l suppli- cated. T needed the money--I gam blcd it off am very young other men who are now great merchants might in their earlier days have forged notes. Oh, sir, as you would hope to be forgiven, forgive me-
 "'That's all very well, Balkins. The money has been found where you hid it. Yes, other men may have forged notes. forged one myself years ago, and as you are the tenth young fellow who has taken advan- tage of me on that account, think that l should make An example of you. It is a pity, BaIkins, that you haven't tried your plan sooner, but in this country of great western enter prise thriftier men have gotten ahead of you. Balkins, policeman is stand ing out there waiting for you.' The policeman got me" the young fellow continued, "and served two years in the penitentiary. The reason l am telling this with such lack of restraint is because I expect to go In business here. I don't want any young fellows to try the game on me, and am giving kindly warning"

GENERALLY HUMMRRS,

In somo of the southern towns rail. road business k carried on with head. swimming swiftneas, A traveller who had ridden thirty miles ta catch train a Bolton, reached the town few hours after tine mixed" train had pulled out.
 "l nm mighty sorry you missed the train" said tho accommodating sta. tion agent. Were you In much of hurry"
 "WelI, 1 should say was.'
 "Wall, In that case you oughtcr sent some teller on ahead. an would 'a' hll' the train"
 "Whcn do you expect tho next trainf"
 Dill" anld the agont, addressing a barc-footcd, no-"suspcnsiefod" fel- low who sat on the platform, "how air they giitin' along with cotton pickin' up the roadi"
 "Sortcr slow, Eve hcarn,' Bll TO- piled.
 "Wall, stranger" said tho agent, "cf they air gittin' along slow with their cotton plckin', thar ain't much tellin' when tho next train will be along, as the conductor has orders from the gin'l superintendent to walt till he gifts load"
 "That's h. of an idea 1" the ndig- nant traveller exclaimed.
 "Yca," said the agent, "but ips bus iness. Thar mont be places whar they run railroads fur fun, but they run 'cm to make money down here"
 The traveller turned away and had gone some distance when the agent overlook him and said
 "StraDgcr, Pm pleased to tell you that I've got good news for you"
 "Whht, is there train comingl"
 "Wall, yes. Thar's goin' to be circus down at krenshaw, an 1 have jest ParDed that the conductor of the train that's now above has got orders t0 fetch the folks down"
 "i'm glad of that When will the circus be at Krcnshaw7"
 "Wali, they ain't exaekly fixed the date yit, but you may rest ashored itIl be some time this month, for you know them circus feiiers is gineraliy hummers."

Here she is. Slap down, podner."
 "Podner" slapped down. The grad uate lifted the indicated she'll Noth- ing under it. "Wall, Pll be staked an ridered p said the judge. "Whar in thunder did that pea go to, any howl"
 "It has gone to show the error of human judgment" replied the gradu- ate, as he again arranged the shells. The mayor began to squat. He saw the pea. "Air the opportunity opened to me?" he asked.
 My doors are only closed against the unworthy" replied the college bred man.
 Wall, now here, 1 know whar that pea is"
 "One of my rules in lite is not to argue" sad the professional journal l ist.
 'I don't like to take a mans money, podner, but Pm ateerd that Pll have to lift you"
 $50 much misfortune has been mine that have learned to submit without a murmur to disappointment"
 "You may think Pm foolin', but I ain't. Wy, man, ken see squirrs eye hundred yards"
 'I admire but lay no wicked envy upon your great gift of eyesight."
 "Hang it, I know black-eyed peas when l see 'em. l raised putty good crap uv 'em last year. Didn't l, Ab?7'
 "That's wbut you done, an the crap wouldcr been bigger ef it hadn't been fur the drouth."
 "Podner," said the mayor, "slap down"
 The graduate complied. Nothing under the shell. "I'll gin you ten dol lars" said the mayor, to show me how the blame thing got out rum under that. Fellers, Eve allus said it an' l'll say it agin: Black-e eyed peas is a on- certain crap"
 When the graduate mounted his horse to continue his journey, he had in his pockets at least hundred dol lars of the educated and fined citi- zens' money. He had ridden but a few miles when he was overtaken by the mayor and the judge.
 "You've got to go back with us," said the judge.
 "Gentlemen, I hope"
 Hope nothin'; you've got to go back"
 The graduate was frightened. He had seen rope in the saloon. "Gen- tlemen, I will return your money if you will let me go on."
 "No, sir, you've got to go back"
 "I pray you think of my extreme youth"
 "Ain't got time. Come ahead"
 "For God-sake do not hang me-"
 The judge and the mayor burst into roar of laughter. "W'y," said the mayor, "you are foolish. lad Wilson an the Harkrider boys have come an we want you to go back am skin 'em {; an say, we wanter sorter stand in with the game. Hang you. Wy, we don't hang valuable men in this here community"
 Shortly afterward, when the gradu- ate had become a sensational evaDgeI- ist, and had, with great success, brow beaten the old preachers who had spent long and earnest years in the work of persuading men to turn from the evil highway, this incident was related to prove that he was well qualified for evangelical work. ."-Opie P.
